A smart public restroom for the City of St. Catharines, Ontario!

Summary:

The City of St. Catharines has installed its first smart public restroom, which is expected to clean itself efficiently, reducing maintenance costs. Manufactured by Urben Blu, the pre-fabricated bathroom features a universal washroom and service room. It is equipped with a self-cleaning system involving jets spraying the floor, draining into the public sanitary system. Programmed according to the city’s preferences, the toilet will be operational by the end of February. Its installation addresses the increased need for public restrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic and follows community requests for improved facilities. The location was carefully chosen to minimize the risk of undesirable activities, considering factors like visibility and proximity to high-traffic areas.
